She knows when I'm lonesome And she cries when I'm sad

She's up in the good times She's down in the bad

Whenever [ I'm] discouraged She knows just what to do

But, girl, she doesn't know about you I can tell her my [ troubles]

She makes them all seem right I can make up excuses

Not to hold her at night [ We] can talk of tomorrow

I'll tell her of things that I [ want] to do But, girl, how can I tell her about you?

How can I [ tell] her about you? Girl, please tell me what to do

Everything seems [ right] whenever I'm with you

So, girl, won't you tell me how to tell her [ about] you?

How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away?

How can I say it's you I think of every single night and day?

But when is [ it] easy telling someone we're through?

Oh, girl, help me tell her about you How can I [ tell] her about you?

Girl, please tell [ me] what to do Everything seems right whenever I'm with you

So, girl, won't you tell me how to tell her [ about] you?

How can I tell [ her] I don't miss her whenever I'm away?

How can I tell her I don't miss her whenever I'm away?

How can I tell her about you?
